The body of 13-year-old Anshu Gautam from Letang, North Morang, who had been missing for two weeks, was found in the forest on Friday.
The body of the deceased could not be identified. However, the identification of the body was done on the basis of the slippers, clothes and watch found at the scene, said SP Kavit Katuwal, Chief of Police at the District Police Office, Morang.
Police said that his body was found in a very gruesome condition inside the Belbari-Chisang partnership forest.
When the body of Anshu of Letang Municipality-2 School Chowk was found with his head and body separated, not only the family but also the entire village was shocked. A local woman who had gone to cut grass had informed the police after seeing the body at around 1:30 pm.
According to the District Police Office, Morang, the condition of the body, which was becoming foul-smelling, was gruesome. The clothes were torn, the head and body were separated. 'It can only be said from the forensic examination report whether she was murdered after rape or died due to an attack by a wild animal,' said SP Katuwal, 'The truth will be known soon.'
Anshu left home at 4:30 pm on Asoj 21 to play ping pong. The girl was out of contact after that.
According to Ward Chairman of Letang-2 Tej Prasad Timsina, her family, a class 5 student of the local Laxmi Secondary School, is extremely poor.
The body has been sent to the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan for a post-mortem.
